This is lesson number four
of my Juelle Web Design lessons.

Here we are doing side borders
backgrounds and buttons

The main graphic here was the shell design which is the side border - I created the background using a gradient made from two colors taken from this graphic. I used Filters Unlimited "cracked" and web shift image to get rid of the lines where it meets then using  the filter again along with "light emboss".


This is my divider created by turning the side border on its side, adding a decorative edge on each end and cutting away the other edges.

The buttons were made the same way but with just one shell apiece

The font used here is one of my favorites, Bavand Regular, which hopefully you may download here.

Example of a page done without the needed blank.gif to correctly space the text can be found here.
